Salaried Medical Officers Enterprise Agreement

On 2 February 2022, the South Australian Employment Tribunal (SAET) approved the SA Health Salaried Medical Officers Enterprise Agreement 2022 (SMOEA 2022) following a successful ballot.

The SMOEA 2022 came into effect on 2 February 2022 and will nominally expire on 2 February 2025.

All Salaried Medical Officers, including Trainee Medical Officers and Consultants, are covered by the SMOEA 2022.

The South Australian Medical Officers Award underpins the SMOEA 2022.

Process for negotiations

On 17 September 2024, formal negotiations will commence for a new enterprise agreement to replace the SA Health Salaried Medical Officers Enterprise Agreement 2022.

As required as part of the Fair Work Act 1994 (SA), a Notice of Intention to Bargain (the Notice) was issued on 3 September 2024. The Notice identified the employees who are proposed to be covered by the new enterprise agreement and their right to representation. Employees can be represented by an employee association under the Fair Work Act 1994 (SA) or an agent of their choice.

Further progress updates on bargaining will be published on this webpage.
